<span style="font-family:georgia,times,times new roman,serif">GWAMIT is participating in some actions protesting some of the new TIX rules and regulations proposed by Betsy DeVos. Several sources, including the </span><span style="font-family:georgia,times,times new roman,serif">ACLU</span><span style="font-family:georgia,times,times new roman,serif"> thinks that these rules will "inappropriately tip the scales in </span><span style="font-family:georgia,times,times new roman,serif">favor</span><span style="font-family:georgia,times,times new roman,serif"> of the accused and against those who report..." These changes would make our schools less safe for survivors and make it much harder to hold perpetrators of sexual and domestic violence accountable. The proposed rules would affect us all.<br>
<br>Take action to stop these rules from taking effect!:<br>
<br>1. Add your name in support of survivors' rights to this <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/titleixdefense/the-letter" target="_blank" style="color:#2baadf;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline">open letter</a> to the Department of Education.<br>

<br>GWAMIT will be sending out a statement, a more detailed summary of the changes, and some suggested parts to comment on soon but we wanted to get this information to you ASAP so you can sign the letter and attend the sit-in if you're interested. </span><br>
<br>
<strong><span style="font-family:georgia,times,times new roman,serif">Brief</span></strong><span style="font-family:georgia,times,times new roman,serif"><strong> summary of most concerning changes:</strong><br>
<br>• More limited definition of sexual harassment/misconduct: instead of being severe OR pervasive (repeated </span><span style="font-family:georgia,times,times new roman,serif">offenses</span><span style="font-family:georgia,times,times new roman,serif">), it would now need to be severe AND pervasive so things like sexist jokes would not be required to be acted upon.<br>
<br>• Schools would not be required to investigate assaults that take place in many off-campus settings, even when students are involved. Examples: non-school related bar events, online harassment, etc. <br>
<br>• Schools would be required to hold a live hearing with </span><span style="font-family:georgia,times,times new roman,serif">cross</span><span style="font-family:georgia,times,times new roman,serif">-examination</span><span style="font-family:georgia,times,times new roman,serif"> of survivors and witnesses by an attorney. These processes are extremely likely to re-traumatize survivors.<br>
<br>• Schools could use a much more limited definition of mandatory reporters so that if a student told an RA, TA, coach, (an authority figure associated with the school) etc. about an incidence, this would no longer count as notifying the school. The student would have to report directly to TIX in order for the school to be held accountable.<br>
<br>• Schools would no longer be held accountable to a specific time frame.<br>

<br>Not only was she MIT’s first woman graduate, but she was also MIT’s first woman instructor. She was a pioneer in public health and environmental science, whose research helped set the first water-quality standards in the United States. Every year, AMITA comes together with current students to honor Ellen Swallow Richards birthday (December 3rd, 1842) and celebrate the holiday season. This year, AMITA and GWAMIT are happy to be co-hosting the event. <br>
<br>This year, Susan Murcott '90, SM '92 will be sharing a little bit about our remarkable, first alumna, Ellen Henrietta (Swallow) Richards, born Dec 3, 1842. Susan is an environmental engineer with a focus on clean water, who teaches a D-Lab course on Water, Climate Change and Health. <br>
<br>So, as the holiday season approaches, take a break from studying and stop by the Sky Lounge on the 6th Floor of Building 9 to celebrate the 176th birthday of the first woman to graduate from MIT, Ellen Swallow Richards, and enjoy holiday treats.</span></div>
